About this map

Montalba sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape in Anderson County, where the Piney Woods transition into a network of creek drainages and high points. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Pine Mtn and a complex water system including Mound Prairie Cr and Beaver Cr. These waterways feed into localized wetlands like Beaver Marsh and Evergreen Marsh, shaping the agricultural and rural character of the region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Hopewell Cem in the northeastern quadrant, while aviation history is represented by the Briar Lakes Ranch Airport. The map also records the rural community of Elmwood to the east, connected by a web of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 315 and FM 837, which trace the established boundaries of local family landholdings and early Texas settlements.
